Recovery and Community Mental Health Support Erie County Residents Can Trust

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. For individuals needing a higher level of support, the Erie County Health Department provides a full continuum of care. Our Erie County Detox facility has supported the community for over five years, offering short-term (3–5 day) withdrawal management in a safe, medically supervised environment.

Building on that foundation, Kaptur Treatment & Recovery, our 28-day residential treatment program, and our Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) services offer structured, evidence-based support for individuals continuing their recovery journey. These newer programs expand community mental health support Erie County residents can access close to home—without leaving their support systems behind.

By connecting mental health care, recovery services, and primary care, we help individuals take steady steps forward toward long-term wellness.
